This is a very good book, and as another reviewer has stated, Wells gets the most out of his words, an astonishing amount of detail and plot is put into what is really a rather short story. One of the great things about this book is that Wells takes a seemingly impossible task (making humans invisible) and makes it seem possible. After we find out a lot about Griffin we learn about his adventures and difficulties as the invisible man. The main themes of the book seem to be the horrors that would abound if a major discovery was found by an evil person before a person who would use it for good causes. Also, it is a definite attack on egos and narcissism, as most of Griffin's terrible acts were spurred on by his needs and his disregard for others.

Well, this is not the drum I march to. Nevertheless, this is an interesting piece of literature. H.G. Wells does a very good job of creating images. He also manages to offer us suspense, comedy, drama, and chills. One thing he does very well is that he grabs our attention in the 2nd half by revealing the identity of the invisible man along with his background. Perhaps the worst I can say about this book is that I enjoyed the movie with Claude Rains better.

The I.M.by H.G.Wells isn't a standar sci/fihorror book.He wrote in a different era of time,and used a different style that what youmigth noexpect.

Imagine an insane lunatic wandering around your town. Sounds creepy, eh? On top of that, say the man is invisible! That is the basic plot behind The Invisible Man. This story is an excellent piece of science fiction literature by one of the world's most reknown sci-fi authors-H.G. Wells. At the beginning of the story, the invisible man appears (or not!) in a small village in England called Iping. He presents himself wearing bandages around all of his features to hide his invisibility. After an extended stay at a local inn, the man begins to draw suspicion from the citizens of Iping. Soon the man's secret us uncovered by the suspicious townspeople. After a wild getaway sequence, the invisible man must escape the angry people of Iping. In the story, there are many different twists and turns. There are plenty of exciting details that make the magnificent ending even more unpredictable. Another plus for the story is the outstanding web of characters. Some of the characters are people such as Dr. Kemp or Thomas Marvel. Each character has a unique personality. All of the characters strongly influence the outcome of the story. One final element of the story that caught my attention was the theme. The story emphasizes that care should be taken so that valuable information should not be used for evil. I would definetely strongly recommend this book. The Invisible Man is a great sci-fi-mystery-thriller combination. It contains interestin characters and a surprising outcome. If you are a sci-fi nut like myself and seeking a mysterious thriller, you'll be sure to enjoy The Invisible Man.

This book had me on the side of the Invisible Man for most of the book. Its hard not to root for something that more than once in our lives we have all imagined. The problem with rooting for the Invisible Man is that Wells writes of him as being an insane, out-of-control pychopath so you teeter back and forth with wondering if its the right thing to do. This is the second book of H.G.Wells that I have read, the first being The War Of The Worlds, and I enjoyed this one more.
